Are you a hunter? After you get your deer or game it turns out there's something to be learned from what is left behind - that offal gut pile.

Minnesota provides a unique opportunity to look across the three biomes at the variety of species visiting the gut piles. This data is being collected for both archery and firearm hunting, and location in the state. You will be asked to sign up for a harvest method (archery or firearm) and a biome (harvest location).
Questions about how you can be a citizen scientist and how you can be involved should be directed to Ellen Candler.
